Re the vocals, in J. Randy's book, he wrote that the back-up vocals were pre-recorded. Most of the vocals [[live or pre-recorded) and patter on the album match the tv special to my ears, although I do hear slight differences during the Supremes' hit medley and their group introduction.
Hopefully George Solomon can chime in. :-)
